"Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --

I didn't say which side of the border, just within 100 miles of the border. Could be on the Canadian side or the US side. it's a national park in either case.

 

A hundred miles of the border puts it in Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba. What do I win? :D

Hello Berth, to win you must provide a more precise guess. :p

 

Next hint -- the photo was taken in a national park in a US border state between Washington state to the west and Minnesota to the east.

 

You didn't like Montana or North Dakota when I offered them earlier.

 

I've been through northern Idaho and it doesn't look very much like that, aside from the fact there are no National Parks in Idaho within 100 miles of the border. Glacier National Park in Montana abuts Canada but Glacier is mountains. Theodore Roosevelt National Park looks like that but is more than 100 miles from Canada.

 

Beats me.

Berth, you/ve been (and still are) really close, and in fact you've mentioned the location as one possibility. The distance from the Canadian is "as the crow flies," and at that just barely less than 100 miles from the border measured in a straight line.

 

This picture, taken about 25 miles "as the crow flies" from the one I posted earlier, should help identify the location:

You win.

 

Montana has two national parks, Glacier and Yellowstone. That photo wasn't of either.

 

North Dakota has one, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. You didn't seem to accept it when I mentioned North Dakota, or the park, earlier. I was "close" only. Looking at a map of the park, the North Unit looks to be within a 100 miles of Canada, aside from the fact I'm not a crow, and, unlike a crow, can't measure flight distance.

Berth, you got it -- Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I probably should have given it to you a round or so ago, but was looking for a definitive single location. My apologies. In any event, your initial guess was prescient and on the money.

 

It's a beautiful place, now surrounded by oil rigs and the most truck traffic 24/7 I've ever seen.

 

Over to you!

I've been to all 50 of the US states, have visual memories of each, the topography of that area among them. I've actually stopped at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park back in 2011 whilst on a cross-country motorcycle journey in celebration of my 70th year, but in the South Unit, not the North, land of fracking.

 

Let me throw out an easy one.

Another prairie photo maybe? ;) Thank you for resisting the urge, as Europeans we are at a disadvantage when trying to identify the grassy hills and valleys of North America.

I am going to look for something in the old archives.

Till soon.

Excellent Andreas! Have you been there yourself? I made the writing on the building unclear to not give any hint.

Your turn!

Frans

 

Yes, I have been there and the building is quite unique somehow.

 

Another not so difficult one:

Hello Andreas,

 

This looks like it might be in New York State. Or possibly in France.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

 

Michael, no to both, but I would be interested to learn, where in New York State they have a building like this one.
